I was totally mesmerized while watching your performance, Hillary. Playing the fiddle, singing, and dancing at the same time is no easy feat. Heck….I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time. You put a smile on my face. Thank you! ❤️
In reality, unless you can do this, you will never know how hard it is... I'm thinking anyone who can sing, dance or play an instrument would fully understand the degree of difficulty it must be to do all three simultaneously. Even if they only had two of those skills, I'm sure they would realize the difficulty. I can't sing or dance, or play any instruments, all I see is two feet doing different shit than both hands... AND legible vocabulary to top it all off!! I'm thinkin WTF? That's FIVE different actions happening all at once, and all in sync!! Of the four lobes the brain has, shes using five of them! Believe me... for a guy who can barely walk and chew gum, I fully understand the talent this girl has!! Lmao... but no... I will NEVER know how hard it is.
The hard part in this video is trying to remember the choreography. Haha. It’s way easier for me to improvise a dance. I’m also smiling:) It took me a while to learn to smile while doing all these things at once 😉 Yeah, and I’m also proud of the fact that I’m doing my version of this song, and I came up with the choreography:) I’m super proud of my ability to be creative and be able to develop my own style😁
@@HillaryKlug I'm not sure how your video became a suggestion, but I saw Cotton Eyed Joe and clicked on it... this was so not what I was expecting, and most definitely I'm not disappointed!! The awesomeness we stumble upon while click surfing RUclips!! Curious, the two talents that join you, siblings? Or just two that resemble you while dressed the same? I'm thinking not many people in this world are that talented, then two more showed up!!?? It's either that kind of skill must be related, or... there's something in the water where you live! Haha You're awesome!!
That’s buck dancing! I am British and I find it mesmerising! The music finds me tapping my feet and the dancing is so good to watch! I think it’s so wholesome and takes you back to a simpler time. A bit like Northern Soul…it is good for the soul. Thanks Hillary…❤😊
My god, that was absolutely fantastic! And the trio of identical sisters are so talented! I wish them a long, happy, and musical life! It's been 50 years since I was at my last Fiddler's convention in North Carolina, that was a very good year!!
I accidentally came across this video, I am so glad that I did. She has so much talent. Violin, singing, and dancing, fantastic! I was transfixed from the very second I started watching this. Simply beautiful, Thank you.
As a mexican man, I absolutely loved this performance. This is beautiful music. Brings me back to the time I lived in Oklahoma and was in a bluegrass band. Cheers from Arkansas! ❤
Can't get enough of Hillary and this video. Every weekend I come back to sit back and watch. After a crappy week it's so nice to know beautiful humans are out there doing nice things for the rest of us. Thanks Hillary 💕
Well said! There's more than enough ugly in this world and not enough of this to make me want to get up and clog again at 60! But my little sister was a clogging tornado and so wonderful!
This is what RUclips should be about. Everything shines, from the performance to the technical wizardry. Hats off to Ms. Klug and crew! This young lady is worth 10,000 Logan Pauls.
Exactly, when most people think of youtube they (well my parents/family) think of those stupid 'trending' videos on youtube. RUclips has great content, like this... just have to search for it.
I can think of at least 50 RUclips channels (covering many different genres) that have really good content and deserve to get more exposure than they do and a lot of channels (including some channels run by VERY large media entities) that have nothing but junk. (and that get all the promotion specifically because they are big media companies run by the likes of Rupert Murdoch)
Wow, this is absolutely adorable!!! We are from Texas and can totally appreciate the great job on the fiddle, the dancing and the singing!!! Thanks for the fun! Thumbs up!!!
Aww! Thanks so much:) We worked hard, but it was so fun!! I'll be in Texas in September. In the Austin area. Stay tuned to see when and where! I'll post it on my website hillaryklug.com
I'm a old school head banger and for reasons unknown this popped up on my feed. I clicked it and all I can say is WOW. Thank you for the video and Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I hope you go far.
I'm a Metalhead at heart, but I can't help but get down with Ragtime, Folk, Fiddling, Polka, Blues, Jazz, etc. etc. Music is music to me. And honestly, Metal has done more to expand my genres that I listen to more than anything else. I mean look at the subgenres, it's damn near endless.
I'm not a metalhead but I've always been fascinated by the comments I read by metalheads on bluegrass especially...it always starts off with I'm a metalhead😊but I feel this so much and it makes me smile. because like the guy above said, music weaves itself into so many things.
I grew up in a town named Fiddletown in Calif. We had a Fiddlers contest once a year and Main St (there were only 2 streets 😁) would be blocked off and packed with people. One of the ranchers would park a flatbed hay trailer across the street and that was the stage. It was amazing! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and bringing back such wonderful memories. Keep up the good work and please share more. Much love and peace during these difficult times to you and your family ❤️
Simply STUPENDOUS! I’ve watched Hillary for the past three years, and I can’t wait for her next video with her magical playing on the fiddle. Many thanks, Hillary.
Love to see this young lady keeping up southern music, dance and singing alive and well! She is such an inspiration and amazing to watch. Add the other two talented girls and you’re all amazing!!!!
I was like are those twins? Triplets!? What's going on here? That was awesome! What a way to modernize a such a classic by a beautiful young lady.....ladies lol. I really enjoyed that I wish my Dad was here to see it. Don't stop reinventing the classics. Good luck and God Bless.
Where did 'fame and fortune' ever make anyone happy? .. it's the most over-rated cliche of all time. Those who strive for vanity and materialism have a false sense of values.
I'll bet your parents were beside themselves with pride seeing you beside yourself! Awesome! So refreshing to see a young person who isn't following the crowd and excelling with her God given talents and enjoying herself doing it! God bless you!
I came here at the end of a day full of bad news, and I was genuinely impressed by your performance! I leave with a smile and a lighter heart - Thank you Hillary!
@@juniperthepotato7848 Actually the origin is unknown. The Rednex from Sweden did make it popular over there in 1995 but it was already known to be a reworking of an old American folk song. Musical historians have it dated to before the Civil War where some people mentioned hearing it sung before the war began. Many heard it sung on plantations. Other than that I'm not aware of any other records of it's origins. Let me know if I'm wrong. I would love to hear if someone knows who wrote it.
A "thumbs up"? How about 👍👍👍and 🌷 A triple treat and more of your talents shown. Great job, Hillary! Always enjoy watching and always looking forward to your next venture.
@@HillaryKlug just read my last comment. Wasnt sayin u look like a guy but that u had a possible family resemblance to a guy named Thomas Klug that I went to school with back in the 80s. And that he was from Virginia or West Virginia.
Kenny Smith cotton eyed joe is actually part of old Tyme fiddle music, which is part of the roots of bluegrass music. Country music fans think it's country music .
Well I was totally mesmerized. That was such talent I've never seen before. So very difficult to do what you did. Absolutely amazing. You are a beautifully gifted young lady. I couldn't take my eyes of your dancing and playing . I feel hypnotized. AWESOME
Wow! I clicked expecting to see another re-butchered Cotton Eyed Joe, but this was amazing! The very seeming simplicity of the steps combined with the fiddle AND singing is completely stunning! I'm a new fan! Fantastic!!
@@HillaryKlug my mother was from Appalachian mountains in Virginia , this music takes me right back to childhood 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸 Wonderful work , As Always Diamond Dave ♦️ ♦️♦️
Good Lord and sweet baby Jesus with the bright blue eyes and curly brown hair.....God bless your mom and dad for bringing you into the world and thank our Father for blessing you with such talent. Pheeewwww.
There is something very special happening in every of your videos. It's not only your fiddle playing, it's not only your singing and your voice, it's not only your tap dancing, there's always something more than the combination of your multiple skills .. that's what I call "the Spirit". Many thanks to you, Hillary, thanks to your partners in this video, thanks to the musicians I did not see, but I heard, guitar, banjo, mandolin. You do with so much talent what I have done three or four times in my life as a singer-musician. I wish you a merry Christmas.
How in the world anybody gives a thumbs down to a pretty girl performing traditional music in an honest, unadorned way that proves she's doing it for the love of her art is beyond me... there are just a few lost and miserable souls in the world who are haters. It's their problem, not yours, hon.
Sometimes a thumbs down is the only way to tell yt to not suggest more of that. Unfortunately the possibilities to manage your recommedations on yt aren't very plenty. Sure, somtimes it's just haters ;)
@@banshee37 Hey, thanks, I never thought of that. All this time I thought people were being crappy - they're just trying to get YT to not give that kind of suggestion? There should be a better way, but I get it.
That was so blinkin awesome! I have never seen anything like that.. let alone you doing it all. I loved every moment of your video. Thank you for your talent. Beautiful and fun... just wonderful.
Manchmal haben sogar wir deutsche Geschmack für schöne Musik ;). Ob sie wohl weiß, dass ihr Nachname deutsch ist?. Sometimes, even us germans have a good taste in music ;). I wonder if she knows her last name is german and means "smart"? Cotton eye joe is part of german heritage by the way. because of a shitty eurodance version by some drunk swedes.
I remember watching this 5 years ago. When Hillary first made this video, you'll see my comment below. And now, 5 years later, I'm still watching and enjoying it.
Well done! I’m a film guy and was thinking about the process the whole time I watched. It’s a puzzle to assemble, but the result was exquisite! Love the sound and “group” performance!
Wow. Now that was a treat. The originality, creativity, and discipline necessary to accomplish this is only overshadowed by the thought of witnessing your talent times three. 😆 You exceeded our expectations once more. Kudos to you Hillary. Well done. Thank you.
Gary K Haha! Thanks so much! This idea of mine really evolved over time. First with the idea of three dancers, and then I choreographed the intricate dance. And then I realized I could do a really cool triple fiddle thing. Cross-tuned triple fiddle. Two of the fiddles are tuned AEAE, and the low harmony fiddle is tuned AEAC#
@@HillaryKlug- You do have great cross-over potential to multiple musical genre through your talent & charm. Perhaps you should start your Patreon subscription to allow your fans to defray your costs of production, travel, and enhance your creative expression.
@@HillaryKlug Absolutely. As an example, the Harp Twins (Camille and Kennerly) are a duo identical twin harp performers. They tour around the country, from coast to coast (as well as internationally) and perform where they are HIRED to play. They have a huge following of around 95 million fans. You can see their 109 videos on RUclips. Patreon fans "tip" them for each video they make, one per month, and it's taken care of through PayPal. Not all 95 million become Patreon members and fans can sign up for an little as $1. But with a growing patreon fan base, you can see a nice fund contributing to your art, and expenses. I'll be your first Patreon patron. 😊 p.s. the twins have beautiful long blonde hair too. 😂
I was impressed with the fiddle playing, and then you added tap dancing, and then you started singing! Wow, to be able to do all three at once must take so much practice. Well done!
Hillary, I like the way you do all these things at the same time. It’s a pleasure to watch your performances. From the heart of the Netherlands I say: you have a big fan here 😀 I hope you once will come to our country to play and sing your songs.
I'm from India and I came across your video just randomly and discovered that I like this gènre of music and truly listening to American country music and tunes gives me a different kind of relaxation and nostalgia....... belonging from such a diverse country I still love this tune. Hats off to your performance ❤️🇮🇳❤️🇺🇸
I am glad to see this type of song music and dance still exist today.
Very talented individuals performing here.😊
Agreed
❤❤THAT WAS GREAT!!❤❤❤MY GOD KEEP BLESSING THE THREE OF YOU WITH THE GREATEST LOVE OF MUSIC ❤❤❤❤😊😊

She's multitasking big time.
Playing the violin, dancing & singing!
W O W !
🤪
I just watched as my daughter, aged 8, who loves singing, dancing and the violin stood in front of this absolutely transfixed. Thank you.
Tell her to keep practicing and one day, who knows eh!
😊 Yay! This comment absolutely warms my heart! Can you give her a message from me? Tell her to dream big and shoot for the stars! ❤️

Wow!!!! You just made my day!! Thankyou all, god bless you...
So nice to see something that uplifts the spirit. I smiled all the way through it. Very talented girls. God bless.
Great job hope to see more.
"girls" ?
YEP.
You realize that was one person and not 3, right?
@@Kirke182 Blue Skies does not realize that - and will soon be in for a shock.
Gawd I wanna come see ya in SDC but am a be workin. Always cheering you on lady!
I grew up on rock and roll but God, how I live this music. Pure American Music. Great job!
Reid Bronson Written by a Swede, not an American.
@@taoist32 the song was written by 4 different people not just a Swede.
It's good to see some talented young people who haven't forgotten their folk music and traditions - go girls.

That was so old timey I just love it. Excelent work. Great version of cotton eyed joe
Absolutely love this!!!! Saw you on Instagram so I wanted to hear more... great job
That was wicked! As I watched I was thinking "This must have been extremely complicated to coordinate." Great job!
Amazing fun!!!
Well done! I’m a film guy and was thinking about the process the whole time I watched. It’s a puzzle to assemble, but the result was exquisite! Love the sound and “group” performance!
Awesome completely awesome. Your voice is amazing and you're great at what you do. Keep em coming....
A very nice job, young lady, keep at it. America could use a return to yesteryear when this music and manners ruled the day.
Wow. Now that was a treat. The originality, creativity, and discipline necessary to accomplish this is only overshadowed by the thought of witnessing your talent times three. 😆 You exceeded our expectations once more. Kudos to you Hillary. Well done. Thank you.
Gary K Haha! Thanks so much! This idea of mine really evolved over time. First with the idea of three dancers, and then I choreographed the intricate dance. And then I realized I could do a really cool triple fiddle thing. Cross-tuned triple fiddle. Two of the fiddles are tuned AEAE, and the low harmony fiddle is tuned AEAC#
@@HillaryKlug- You do have great cross-over potential to multiple musical genre through your talent & charm. Perhaps you should start your Patreon subscription to allow your fans to defray your costs of production, travel, and enhance your creative expression.
Gary K That would be awesome! You think some folks would wanna sponsor my art? I just might do that!
@@HillaryKlug Absolutely. As an example, the Harp Twins (Camille and Kennerly) are a duo identical twin harp performers. They tour around the country, from coast to coast (as well as internationally) and perform where they are HIRED to play. They have a huge following of around 95 million fans. You can see their 109 videos on RUclips. Patreon fans "tip" them for each video they make, one per month, and it's taken care of through PayPal. Not all 95 million become Patreon members and fans can sign up for an little as $1. But with a growing patreon fan base, you can see a nice fund contributing to your art, and expenses. I'll be your first Patreon patron. 😊 p.s. the twins have beautiful long blonde hair too. 😂
Hilary - you have a large and growing fan base here in Scotland- We just love your interpretation of Celtic music. Superb artist , let's have more!
They are talented
Kirk Odenwalt, “they”?
@@DennisKovacich All 3 of them.
There’s only one young woman there!
Sensational Hillary. You WILL become a major super star. You already are but this is only just the beginning of a wild ride for you! Congratulations!
She is a great buck dancer!
Absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing and the best of lucks to your future career.
I was impressed with the fiddle playing, and then you added tap dancing, and then you started singing! Wow, to be able to do all three at once must take so much practice. Well done!
U Ladys are amazing, American oldschool music at its best. Thank you. 🇺🇸😊
wait for it... wait for it... lol
Amazing really enjoyed it
It is like the Hills are alive! With the sound of music!!! ❤
Funny enough, I’m in Austria at the moment 😂😂
I think you mean the Hillarys are alive with the sound of music! 😂
Excellent job! Loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Can't hit like enough times! :) Bravo!
Literally just found you on TikTok!! This is amazing, the way how yawls dance was synced perfectly together and playing The fiddle
When you look in the dictionary for the words, "wonderful" and "talented" this RUclips video starts playing. Loved it - from England.
Hillary, I like the way you do all these things at the same time. It’s a pleasure to watch your performances. From the heart of the Netherlands I say: you have a big fan here 😀 I hope you once will come to our country to play and sing your songs.
3 Hillary's are better than one, as always another great video.❤
I'm from India and I came across your video just randomly and discovered that I like this gènre of music and truly listening to American country music and tunes gives me a different kind of relaxation and nostalgia....... belonging from such a diverse country I still love this tune.
Hats off to your performance ❤️🇮🇳❤️🇺🇸
